GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS coach Steve Kerr delivered another huge update on point guard Steph Curry’s return from injury ahead of game four of the Western Conference first-round playoff series against the San Antonio Spurs today.

Curry has been out of action since late March, suffering an MCL sprain in his left knee following an accidental collision with centre JaVale McGee.

The Warriors were left sweating on his fitness ahead of the postseason as they look to secure their third championship in four years, with the prognosis for his return set at around six weeks.

That timeline would mean missing most of the second round of the playoffs, returning in time for the Western Conference finals – but with Curry frequently spotted out on the court practising, fans had hoped they might see the All-Star sometime ahead of schedule.

Unfortunately, that does not seem to be the case, if the latest update from Coach Kerr is anything to go by.

Kerr claimed he had no timetable for Curry's return from an MCL strain

He reiterated Curry remained on course with his recovery but stated he is “not going to play anytime soon.”

Kerr also divulged that there is no solid timeline for his return.

If the Warriors manage to close out the series with a sweep of the Spurs tonight, a place against Anthony Davis’ New Orleans Pelicans awaits them in the second round.

The Pelicans surprised many by bulldozing the three-seed Portland Trail Blazers in a dominant series whitewash, with Davis, Jrue Holiday and Nikola Mirotic in imperious form.

“I think Pelicans would have a decent chance of pushing it to seven if Curry missed all the games, by that point he'd probably start playing though,” one fan commented on social media site Reddit.
